I don't have the LHT yet. Will be ordering it this Saturday. This is the message I received from Acorn Bags:
================================
The Surly Nice racks are great, but unfortunately will not fit our Boxy bag. It doesn't have the narrow vertical backstop that's needed to slip our leather sleeve into. And our bottom velcro attachment is not wide enough.

I like the idea of a second stem! I've seen tourers adding this to lower their handlebar bags. It may present a problem with our Handlebar bag, because the bag will be too low to use the stabilizer cords running to the handlebar. Also, I'm thinking this bag is not going to be big enough for your needs.
================================

I really disappointed! I really like the looks of the Acorn bags, and the reviews are good.
